Artist Statement
I have been navigating my way to creativity from a very young age applying to study visual arts at uni. Encouraged to get a real job I didn’t follow that dream, instead studied Nursing/Midwifery working in the industry for 12 years. After a back injury, having my son, and then battling major depression, I realised I was living a life chosen by others, not the life I truly desired.
I began discovering my creativity again with handmade crafts and teaching myself graphic and web design. Joining a local art group ‘Back Road Artists’ and attending acrylic and impressionism workshops I have now begun learning art once again.
I love Impressionism and Expressionism and really love painting with Acrylics. I am moving into painting on large canvases due to the movement and how much impact they can have. I hope I can bring joy and feelings of nostalgia into people’s lives through my artwork.
